Grease for better shotmaker

[SpotHound]

I have run out of the red grease for the better shotmaker and can't find a source for more.

Can anybody help?

if it's a higher temp grease you need then wheel bearing grease is what your looking for.
it's drop out temp is almost 100-f higher than #2 chassis grease.
color doesn't matter.
most company's use color to designate tacky, non-tacky, ep additives, that kind of stuff, and it will vary from brand to brand.

I have a Better Shot Maker from Mr. Stewart and luckily I bought extra grease with the machine. I may be totally wrong but the Better Shot Maker grease looks smells and feels like a mixture of high-temp red grease and powdered graphite. If so, the secret is in the proportions. Anyway, if I was out of the grease that's where I'd start.

I used zinc anti-seize grease for my shotmaker. Once the ramp is coated it will last almost forever.

I use soapstone for the ramp on mine. "not a Littleton though"

[SpotHound]

Once you have used Jims Red grease you won't want to use soapstone.

I have found a source of redline CV2 hi temp grease with graphite/moly, I wonder if that will work?

[Cowboy_Dan]

I am working on getting around to building a shotmaker, is the grease used for anything but anti-seize on the drippers? I see some mentioning using it on the ramp, what's that all about?

ETA: Lolz, my post count just hit 556.

YOU DONT WANT GREASE LIKE JIM SENT
it was trash take a GREEN cleaner pad and wash it very good . If you wont use Kroil then use 2cy oil mix ,oil only and let it get hot not to melt but too hot to touch and wipe the lip. and let cool. next time you heat it wipe again and that should be all you need for few times .Kroil will last for long time

[Vinne]

TOO, you say to just wipe Kroil on the ramp and that's it? It works? Do I put it on when it is hot then run shot right away?

you can put the Kroil on anytime I do it before I cast and after. if you get some lock graphite power mix a little in the Kroil , not much , after it cools put that on and rub with a rag. it will keep it from rusting

So did Jim retire, die, go bankrupt? It has been since April of '15 since I last contacted him. I need all new drippers as well as grease. They got ruined in the fire.

[SpotHound]

Yes, the grease ONLY goes on the ramp to stop sticking, none needed as anti seize on the threads.

reply to JD
jim is in very bad health he is 84 and has many health problems so he wont be back
there is guy on feebay that does the drippers . and they work
since the owner don't like posts about feebay you will have to look up on your own
as far as the ramp
you can use the oil that is used in the 2cc chain saw. .
most of the sticking problem you all have is your lead, the only thing that works is LEAD WW and 1 I mean ONE zinc will mess it up . and NO TIN
